Best Kasza Manna combinations.
- Fruit Toppings: Fresh berries, banana slices, or stewed fruit pair wonderfully.
- Nutty Crunch: Add toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans for texture.
- Creamy Elements: A dollop of yogurt or a swirl of cream can enrich the dish.
My 5 Tips on Making the Best Polish Kasza Manna:
- Quality of Semolina: Opt for fine, high-quality semolina for a smoother texture.
- Stirring Technique: Constant stirring is key to prevent lumps and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Milk Matters: Use full-fat milk for a richer taste, but you can substitute with almond or soy milk for a vegan option.
- Flavor Enhancements: Experiment with vanilla, cinnamon, or a touch of honey for added depth.
- Consistency Control: Adjust the milk-to-semolina ratio to your preference for a thicker or runnier porridge.

4 cups 4 full-fat milk (or plant-based alternative)
2 tablespoons 2 sugar (optional)
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon 1 vanilla extract (optional)
Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Notes
- Watch the Heat: Too high heat can cause the milk to burn and the semolina to cook unevenly.
